A friend is someone with whom I can reveal many parts of me

After Buffy died to save Dawn, she returned to what she was before the monks hid her with the Slayer. Now Willow and everyone else are left to pick up the pieces, but only Willow and Spike even remember Dawn existed.

A/N: A huge thank you to Eileen as well as Velvetwhip (welcome back!) for beta'ing this for me. This is more of a prologue than an actual chapter. We're just setting up what's different to start off with. I hope you enjoy!

Word Count: 4,829
A/N: A huge thanks goes to my new beta Eileen. She's stepped in like a true champ while my regular beta has been temporarily unavailable. Though I list a lot of characters, and some of them actually do get dialog, some of them just pass through.


( You spend too much time with strangers )

A/N: A huge thanks, as always, goes to my wonderful beta velvetwhip. This time more so than others, since she's being forced to read fanfic for a show she has no interest in watching. Though I list a lot of characters, and some of them actually do get dialog, some of them just pass through. One is desiccated.


( Oh I'd rather walk a winding road... )

A/N: A huge thanks, as always, goes to my wonderful beta velvetwhip. This time more so than others, since she's being forced to read fanfic for a show she has no interest in watching. Though I list a lot of characters, and some of them actually do get dialog, some of them just pass through. Some of them aren't even conscious. The bump in rating is due to a death that, though in keeping with canon levels of violence, it's different when you read about it.

A/N: A huge thanks, as always, goes to my wonderful beta velvetwhip. This time more so than others, since she's being forced to read fanfic for a show she has no interest in watching. Though I list just about every character it seems, and some of them actually do get dialog, this is all primarily from Caroline's POV with a tad bit of Vicki's POV thrown in. Hope you enjoy!
